Preface

Libraries for the blind are essential to the learning culture of every society and because learning and information are not limited by boundaries, it is important t h a t libraries for the blind cooperate to support each other in m a k i n g information accessible and available to those unable to read print. Blind people depend on libraries to collect, organize and make the information they need accessible to them. The 4th edition of the Directory of Libraries for the Blind, u n d e r t a k e n with the support of libraries for the blind from around the world, assembles information about the participating libraries and facilitates both communication and cooperation. It is a first step towards the vision of a world library of alternate format materials. Maintaining the information and keeping the Directory useful, however, depends upon the good will of m a n y libraries and dedicated professionals who take t h e time to ensure its accuracy. If you use this Directory, you can help to make it an effective tool by ensuring t h a t your information is included or t h a t it is u p to date. The Section of Libraries for the Blind thanks all libraries and Section members, in particular the J a p a n e s e Society for the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities, for helping us to develop this Directory. Rosemary Kavanagh, Chair IFLA Section of Libraries for t h e Blind J a n u a i y 2000

Introduction

The fourth edition of the International Directory of Libraries for the Blind is printed from a database which is maintained by the Japanese Society for the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities (JSRPD) on behalf of the IFLA Section of Libraries for the Blind (SLB). The most current information is available via Internet . The original database was set up for the third edition of the International Directory of Libraries for the Blind published in 1990, and which was based on all the entries of the first and second editions. In additional to occasioned updates, t h e contract address and telephone/fax information was updated in 1998 by referring to the online database of the Royal National Institute for the Blind. In February 1999, J S R P D sent out a questionnaire on behalf of the SLB to 394 organizations, including a previously unrecorded 139 organizations. As a result, we received updated information from 130 organizations by post, email, or online updating. The Directory is arranged alphabetically by countries. Within countries, individual organizations are also arranged alphabetically. Each organization has a unique entry number. An alphabetical list of 242 organizations in 78 countries and an index of 82 different languages follow the data sheets. The data weis taken from the questionnaire returned to the editors or updated online via Internet. The data of some organizations whose response did not reach the editors by 1 December 1999 have been extracted from the third edition database. To locate a particular organization or materials in a particular language, first look for t h e entry in a proper index and find the entry number of the organization. Example 1: To locate information on the Christian Blind Mission International, refer to the index entitled "Index - Organizations". The entry number assigned to this organization is 4. Turn to the data sheet with entry number 4. IX

E x a m p l e 2: To find organizations lending m a t e r i a l s i n A f r i k a a n s , refer to "Index - Languages". According to t h i s index you will find e n t r y n u m b e r s 165168. T u r n to those e n t r i e s to find details. A s t h e J a p a n e s e Society for t h e Rehabilitation of P e r s o n s w i t h Disabilities is m a i n t a i n i n g t h e Directory on behalf of t h e IFTA Section of L i b r a r i e s for t h e Blind, w e would b e most g r a t e f u l if you would send u s a n y corrections or updates by post, or simply update your entry via Internet .
